[Private thoughts, hackable if you can read her mood]

For all the holes I could point out in the Warrior Princess's reasoning...why didn't I keep investigating on my own? At the first remotely plausible suggestion from one of the kidnappers, I just sat back and followed orders. Used the meager tools I was given for tiny, insignificant comforts instead of continuing to look at the big picture.

That's not happening again.

I understand a few people have traveled to the boundaries of the Garden and returned. I'd appreciate any information you have to give, as well as volunteers for some reconnaissance-in-force. I'll be leading an expedition to determine details of the border areas and try to find any unguarded and traversible paths that may exist, as well as bringing back more samples of the strange matter there should we fail to find an exit.



Even if I have to go alone, it's time we forced some detailed answers out of this place.

I was part of an expedition to the northern boundaries some time ago. The environment I saw was very much like a jungle, except that the plantlife came in all kinds of crazy colours, and there was something off about the birdsong I heard there. There's something I didn't like about the atmosphere there, either; the air was so thick and humid, amd just about the entire party I was travelling with felt some sort of unease about the place.

We didn't actually explore very far, but as I've said to some others, I still have a soil sample I collected from that jungle. We'd thought from early on that the earth held some sort of strange potential, but I hadn't had any real understanding about it until recently. I'm gonna have to experiment with what I've got and see what happens.

I'd be willing to join another expedition; in fact, I'd been planning to do some further investigation myself anyway. Just a word of warning, though: I've heard that there's a certain limit to how far we can progress in these wild places. Assuming that's true, we'll have to explore with caution.

Finding a way through this limit, a means to destroy it, or at the very least its extent is my main objective. I'll be happy to have you along.

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to prove myself useful, then. [She says this with definite confidence.]

Do you have a rendezvous point in mind?

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

I doubt I need to say it, but I'll definitely help.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't want to presume, so it's good to hear it from you.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Were you able to find out where the previous group explored? It might be a good idea to start off going in the exact opposite direction.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

I led the last expedition. Count me in.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

That's when you ended up ten years younger, correct?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

...Yes. I have to say that spooked me good, but I think I need to do something out there anyway. Call it a hunch. Or deja vu.

I went before, but I'd be glad to go again, if the plan is to push through unease or weirdness or whatever, and really find out what the boundaries of this place are.

It definitely was weird, but I didn't get any sense of hostility or danger from it.

I've heard the phrase "unfinished".

[uraniumtea.livejournal.com]

If there are boundaries on the surface and we can't fly out, then what about digging?

[voice]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

It stands to reason the boundary is a sphere, and digging takes a while...we'll consider that as a possible next step.

[uraniumtea.livejournal.com]

If we could at least reach Hell, we'd be free!

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

I'm actually looking into the border parts a lot. I'd suggest not to go there, you're probably not strong enough and will only be brought back by the wolves.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Happened that way for you, did it?

[chibi-police.livejournal.com]

Ar will help.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

You said you were a bodyguard, right? Do you have a specialty as far as combat goes?

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

The soil from that place is... It's strange.

I'd have to test it again, but... A house appeared here, from my memory, and I think the soil had something to do with it. I had it in my hand at the time, and it disappeared as soon as the house appeared.

[ Caprica sounds quite uncertain — but then, as she said, she'll have to test it again. ]

The place where I went with the expedition a while ago was like a jungle, but other places outside the Gardens might be different.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Hm...I've heard similar things from others. That's why I want samples of this matter. If nothing else, my group could use a base of operations or additional weapons.

[knight-king.livejournal.com]

I'll help, though I'm not certain combatants will be needed.

[ultimatedessert.livejournal.com]

That's the sorta attitude we need more of!

Tell you what... Long as I'm in, I'll loan you my base and the Base Panels. No charge, no contract of service.

Fair?

Sorry, miss, I confused you for someone else.

Regardless, what's a Base Panel?
